\nTitle: Spookytechnology and Society
\nAuthors: Charles Tahan
\nNew technologies based on the exploitation of so-called “second order” quantum phenomena – such as quantum entanglement – deserve a public-friendly, rational, and sexy name. Spookytechnology is that unifying term. From historical and motivational perspectives, this name has greater value than the many variations of quantum this and quantum that presently used. As many already believe, the pursuit of spookytechnology has profound implications for the development of the physical and information sciences and ultimately for society at large. Spookytechnology will find its place in the increasingly dense line of major technological revolutions of our time: quantum, info, bio, nano, spooky.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Okay, my first reaction is negative. Man I’m getting to be a grouch. Is “spooky” really “rational”? It certainly is sexy, except that it somehow reminds me of sex with ghosts. Is it “public friendly?” Only if we want the public to believe we are in the business of pseudoscience? On the other hand, I’m sure we could get a show on the SciFi channel if we adopt spookytechnology \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
